Calculus teachers recognize this book as the leading resource among the reform projects that employ the rule of four and streamline the curriculum in order to deepen conceptual understanding. This edition uses all strands of the “Rule of Four” ― graphical, numeric, symbolic/algebraic, and verbal/applied presentations ― to make concepts easier to understand. The book focuses on exploring fundamental ideas rather than comprehensive coverage of multiple similar cases that are not fundamentally unique.
